Well as someone that works in Canary Wharf and regularly hops to Germany to see family and friends CityFlyer has been running Germany down and BA in general ex LHR has been retreating since the combination of Covid and the thing that shall not be mentioned beginning with a B. A shame as it was very convenient, but the schedules are not a patch on what they were even on the remaining core routes. That combined with the Exec Club to BA Club change, and LHG are benefiting from my money. The afternoon DUS flight used to be handy - I even sometimes grabbed that had dinner in the Altstadt then hopped on the sleeper to wake up in Tirol ready for the day in the mountains with friends and family there. Also many flights to STR over the years.

I am not sure what the strategy is here for DACH - I get you adjust to demand and things have shifted, but even if you look at what remains frequency or offering is not really great or competitive: LCY-ZRH now has the last BA flight at 16:05 while LX has flights at 17:40 and 19:10. Means my flights to see my brother in ZRH have shifted to LX as I can work all day then fly over. MUC and FRA also see LH offer more flights than BA and I get the sense BA isn't really in the fight - I expect they get a fair few connecting pax alongside point to points. I still remember when the busy FRA and MUC flights were 767s and schedules or at least frequencies tended to try and mirror LH - taking next Monday LH have 9 flights LHR-MUC and BA 6.
